(Fellow), was introduced to the " mysteries " of motion picture techniques at a very early age. Educated at Mill Hill School, he founded there, just after World War I, a Film Society when, with a hand-cranked Moy camera, he photographed and produced a newsreel of the school athletic activities and other events. He entered the film industry and joined the Stoll Studios in 1921. After varied experience in the B.B.C. Engineering Department and as Sound Supervisor for Islington and Twickenham Studios, he returned to the Stoll in 1937 as General Manager. Now, Studio Manager at Ealing Studios, Ltd., Baynham Honri£is best known for his eagerness to examine and exploit fresh* techniques and new processes. He will certainly have the opportunity to exercise this enthusiasm during his term of office, for the utmost vision will be required in resolving the manifold problems with which the industry is beset. In the work which lies ahead, the President may be assured of the best wishes and keen support of his fellow members.
